Press rubbish left unwritten (5)
I believe the answer is:
drive
'press' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "first shot" , "Control and steer vehicle" , "tenacity" , "required for excursion" , "gear" .)
